Well, I am very proud of myself. I went to Wal-Mart to do my weekly grocery shopping and I skipped right over the junk food isle! I won’t lie and say I wasn’t tempted, but I made it without going into a major panic. I haven’t completely changed my shopping habits, but I did make some healthier choices. Like instead of getting those frozen breaded chicken tenders I opted for the boneless skinless chicken strips that you find in the meat department. In our household we have a difficult time with meals. G works some pretty long hours, so we tend to go for the convience foods. You know, the boxed dinners. I didn’t realize how unhealthy they are until I read the labels today. They are loaded with fat and sodium. The good thing is now that summer is right around the corner we will be doing a lot of grilling. I absolutely love grilled chicken. Dang, now my mouth is watering. The thing I have to remember is that a serving is NOT 2 chicken breast.

I go see my medical doctor on the 29th, and I think that I am going to ask him to refer me to the nutritionist at the hosptial. I really want to educate myself on making healthier choices in what and how much I eat.

I got my bicycle out of the basement (It hasn’t seen the light of day since last summer), and now I’m trying to decide whether or not to walk or ride. I’m starting out small, like maybe ride down my street and back which is roughly 7 blocks (one way).  Time for me to go do some housework. :o)
